START THE PARTY ARTICLES

November 16, 2010 - Every Tuesday, Sony drops a bunch of new stuff onto the PlayStation Network. Those with a PlayStation 3 or PSP can download this new goodness, which ranges from PSN games to movies, themes and more. While the Official PlayStation Blog outlines these updates in full each week, we thought we'd help truncate the good news into something more digestible.

October 15, 2010 - September was the anticipated launch of PlayStation Move, Sony's motion controller peripheral. Sony did not disclose unit sales for the device yesterday, however. Analyst Michael Pachter called its debut "modest."

September 3, 2010 - With its added exclamation mark, you'd expect Start The Party! to spontaneously generate a shindig whenever you fire up the PS3, but in reality Start The Party! would be more likely to generate a scrap with your guests if you ever put it on at a get-together. That's not to say that the game isn't fun to play, but give us booze, scantily clad guests, and a hot-tub over this glorified tech demo any day of the week.

June 25, 2010 - Oh, E3 2010, you won't be missed. The sweaty show floor, the massive line to play PlayStation Move, and the crazy expensive convention center food – you were a beast, E3. However, we can't sit here and act like we didn't have a blast when it came to all things PlayStation. Sony delivered a two-hour conference packed with news and demos, the PlayStation 3 had more support from third-parties than ever before, and – believe it or not – Gran Turismo 5 finally got a release date.

June 17, 2010 - After months of silence, the age of the PlayStation Move is upon us. This week, Sony opened the floodgates and began telling us all about their brand new motion controller and the games that will follow. We know the release date, price and so much more. Still, this is E3 and we're IGN. Hundreds of stories have gone live over the past few days, so finding the Move news you need is no easy task.

June 15, 2010 - Sony has outlined a list of titles that will support the PlayStation Move motion controller, set for release on September 19. The titles will support Move out of the box, or receive a free download update.

June 14, 2010 - A few months ago at the Game Developer's Conference, Sony showcased the PlayStation Move, a motion controller that offers one-to-one control in videogames. You hold the PlayStation Move, the PlayStation Eye sees it, and you control the game through your actions. The GDC trailers showcased LittleBigPlanet, a fist fighting game and more to rev up the crowd, but the demos themselves were met with mixed reactions. They were early, some of the animations weren't there, and so on.

June 14, 2010 - One of the final games I played at last night's PlayStation Move event was Start the Party, a mini-game collection that boasts four-player multiplayer and plenty of hilarity. Start the Party was originally titled Move Party, which Craig Harris covered in depth a few months ago at the Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco. Not a lot has changed in that time besides the title, but this was the first time that I got to play Start the Party -- and I had the pleasure of gaming alongside three other people. After even a short session of the game, it's clear that playing with a group of friends is easily the best way to experience Start the Party, if only to see your best buddies make fools out of themselves on TV.

March 28, 2010 - Right, it's been a while since IGN AU has gently caressed and/or laid the boot into a topic with a Good Cop / Bad Cop, but we think, off the back of Sony's PlayStation Move unveiling (well, the proper unveiling), the time has come to bring this feature out of the vault.

March 15, 2010 - At its GDC 2010 press conference, Sony formally took the wraps off of its motion controller, henceforth officially titled the PlayStation Move. After doing the whole song and dance presentation, a number of titles were available for hands-on time afterward, and we had a pretty healthy crew present for some play time.

March 10, 2010 - Move Party!, one of the concept demos at tonight's PlayStation Move event at Game Developers Conference, feels like a bunch of mini-games cobbled together from last year's tech demo shown to audiences at last year's Electronic Entertainment Expo.

September 24, 2009 - TOKYO - Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) today announced that it will release a new Motion Controller (unofficial name) for PlayStation 3 (PS3) computer entertainment system in Spring 2010. The new controller, equipped with high-precision, highly accurate motion sensors, can deliver a whole new entertainment experience on PS3 when combined together with the PlayStation Eye camera(*1). Capable of recognizing and tracking a user's face and voice as well as body motion, PlayStation Eye can also output the player's image onto the TV screen. SCE will vigorously promote the expansion of this new experience only possible on the PS3 platform.

September 23, 2009 - Although Sony Computer Entertainment's TGS 2009 Keynote was a snoozer of facts and figures, the company came slamming back at its gaming conference with amazing news about future tiles coming out on PlayStation systems. The biggest news for techies was a playable demonstration of the first real games for the PlayStation Motion Controller. These weren't just tech demos -- these are the first games that will be available using Sony's innovative controller.
